They already have an MSP. That is the opening.

The scenario:

We already have someone. Most reps hear that and give up. 

A client having an MSP is not the wall. It is the door. They have a provider, which means they have problems with that provider. Your job is to surface them without trashing the competition. 

The prompt:

You are a sales coach for a managed service provider, prepping me for a meeting with a prospect who already has an MSP. 
Works in any AI tool. 
 
Context: 

  • Prospect: [company, size, industry] 

  • What I know about their current provider: [anything you have heard] 

  • Where I am strongest: [the gap you beat the incumbent on] 

    Build: 

  • 8 questions that surface gaps in their current service without criticizing their provider 

  • For each, what a worrying answer sounds like 

  • For each, how I follow up when I hear it 
     
    Focus on response times, security, and whether they feel listened to. Order them so the meeting builds from easy to revealing.
